I am a fan of “Louie.” It took me a little bit to get the hang on the show. Louis C.K. does a hell of a job as a writer, producer and writer. I think this is season two now. I think I have seen all of the shows and am up to date.
“Louie is an American comedy television series on the FX network that began airing in 2010. It is written, directed, edited and produced by the show's creator, stand-up comedian Louis C.K., who stars as a fictionalized version of himself, a comedian and newly divorced father raising his two daughters in New York City. The show has a loose format atypical for television comedy series, consisting of largely unconnected storylines and segments (described as "extended vignettes") that revolve around Louie's life, punctuated by live stand-up performances.
The first season of Louie was broadcast in 2010, and the second season in 2011. The show has met with critical acclaim and was included in various 2010 top-ten lists.
C.K. was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series as well as Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series for the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards. C.K. announced on August 6th, 2011, via his Twitter account that the series had been picked up for a third season. The third season is due to begin airing from June 28, 2012…”
“…C.K. accepted the modest offer of $200,000 (covering his own fee as well as production costs) to do a pilot with FX over prospective production deals with larger networks because they allowed him full executive control of the show. The show is shot on a Red camera setup, and C.K. edits many of the episodes on his personal laptop. In addition to starring, Louie serves as the series' sole writer and director, an unusual distinction in television production…”
